Last week was a whirlwind for NBA coaching legend Doc Rivers. After getting fired by the Milwaukee Bucks following their disastrous regular season, Rivers revealed a major announcement during his appearance on Friday's episode of "The Bill Simmons Podcast."

"I told my coaches, I’m done. I loved coaching. Loved it. I had a lot of success at it, had way more ups than downs," Rivers told Simmons. "But at the end of the day, I’ve given 47 years or whatever, I don’t even know how old I am … with no off time. I just wanted a break. I want to get away. The grandkids and just life in general, man."

While Rivers hasn't officially announced his retirement from coaching yet, it sounds like that part of his career is over.

"Right now, I can tell you, Bill, I think it was time, so I’d be surprised if I coached another game, I’ll put it that way," Rivers added.

Rivers is 64 and has spent over four decades in the NBA. After a successful 13-year career as an All-Star point guard, he enjoyed a 27-year career as a head coach for the Orlando Magic, , , and Milwaukee Bucks.
